Here in Corinth the houses are built right on the pavement leaving no room for a garden.
The older houses have huge areas at the back where the original plan was for the owners to have vegetable gardens.
Some of these hidden gardens have flowers all year round, Michaelmas Daisies, Narcissus, Bluebells and, at this time of year, these "Lilies".
I have never been able to acquire one of the bulbs.
I even went to the extent of going, with a friend, to an empty plot where the house had just been pulled down.
I knew where the bulbs were but some one had beaten me to it.
We did manage to get some Narcissus bulbs and Bluebell bulbs which flower evey year in my friend's garden
